Long before the term existed, Star Trek's heart was "woke" & even though that word has been hijacked & made a cudgel to insult, to ridicule & - at the toxic extremes of social media - to justify prejudice & racism, Star Trek's heart is strong & still beating for those listening

If we don't hit our goal (which is looking increasingly likely), we cannot make season two. Even if you can't donate, a share or review goes so far. This is a project Fio and I are so proud of, and we really want to see it through to the end. Season one is already available for free online!

There's an AWS outage this morning impacting lots of services; it started around 07.30 UK time. People who use services like Alexa as their alarm clocks have just had a helpful reminder that using a device reliant on connectivity to carry out a task that doesn't need connectivity is not a good idea.
